Hello, everyone. I'm Hayashida, the director of NES REMIX.
(View all comments to see translations.)
NES REMIX is a downloadable game that's just been released. It's made up of familiar parts from classic NES games, carefully selected and enhanced with new rules and challenges to give them a slightly different flavour. It's a way to enjoy these beloved games like never before! Whether you've played the original NES versions or not, you can give NES REMIX a try over the festive season.
I'm planning to use this brand new community to share videos revealing some of this game's tips and tricks.
Did you know that if you clear a stage really quickly, the stars you earn will have flashing colours around them? We call this "getting a rainbow", and in my posts here, I'll explain how to get a rainbow in various stages. If you're struggling with a particular stage, this could be a big help. But beware of spoilers! If you want to achieve everything on your own, you might want to skip these posts.
Today I'll explain the technique for the very first stage in the game. It's titled "Defeat 15 enemies before time runs out!" (Warning! Spoilers ahead!)
This is a Super Mario Bros. challenge where you're invincible for the entire stage. The aim is to hurry and defeat 15 enemies - but actually, if you do nothing but dash the whole time, it's not possible to get a rainbow.
At one point in the stage, there are four Goombas in a row. However, if you keep dashing, only three Goombas will appear.
Here's why! In Super Mario Bros., it's only possible for five enemies to appear on screen at once, including enemies you've already defeated. If you've just defeated two enemies, and these are still displayed on the screen, only three out of these four Goombas can appear.
In other words, you have to wait a moment and let one of the previously defeated Goombas disappear off the screen before moving on. That's the trick here.
Watch the video to see how it's done!
